Welcome to my channel! I’ll share various traditional skills that originate from my Iñupiaq culture. I am happy to share and learn, I hope some of the content is helpful for your learning journey.
Iñupiaq ASMR aqpiit/aqpik eating (cloudberries)
On the Arctic tundra we have a delicious berry, high in vitamin c, that is not found anywhere else. The aqpik or aqpiit (plural) are sweet and grow in boggy tundra. They are known as cloudberries or salmonberries. They have a lot of seeds, so here is 5 minutes of me eating aqpiit from the Nome tundra.

In the Arctic it is essential to subsist in order to live sustainably and have a healthy diet. Today I qasraqtuaq an Ugruk hide. In this process I separate the blubber from the hide.

I am making some dried seal meat from the back strap and ribs of an ugruk that was gifted to us by local hunters. Seal is rich in iron and very nutritional. They are abundant in the area where I am from and have been used as food for centuries.
Qulliq- 6 minutes of flame
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
The Qulliq is a tradition Seal Oil lamp from the Arctic regions of the world. Something about the flame is very mesmerizing and calming. Just enjoy the dance of the flames and the satisfaction of turning it off. Take a moment to breath deeply, calm yourself and drink some water. #qulliq #naniq #indigenoustherapy #inuit #indigenous #asmr

Просмотров 3923 года назад
I show the process of how I sew a Inuit kick ball with typical leather, nothing fancy, to practice and play traditional games at home or with others. In this video I am using cow leather, poly fill, and artificial sinew. My leather needle is a Glover size 6. I made my own simple pattern. Check out my website to buy one yourself. Www.kunaq.org

How to Make Pickled Maktaaq (beluga skin and blubber). This is an Iñupiaq recipe that my mother passed down to me. My daughter is learning too, she is 2, she is my biggest helper!

In this tutorial I will go through the process of crimping your own hard sole for a pair of Kammak. These are made with ugruk hide (bearded seal) that was naturally tanned and prepared.
Stretching Ugruk (bearded seal) Hide

I traded some Kamiks for this ugruk so that I can stretch the hide and create more art with it. It took around 35 minutes to get it on the stretcher, I sped up the video but kept the original audio.

I was fortunate enough to begin my learning journey on how to make traditional Kammak/maklak/fur boots. I am still learning but I want to share what I have learned along the way. Here is a video of how I make my patterns. This will be a multi-part series that will take you through my process of making patterns, crimping, and sewing the Kammak together. I would love to hear how you do your patte...

Traditional tanning fish skins with alder back collected this spring. The skins are from sockeye salmon from the Chitna River in the Interior of Alaska. This process is long, but you end with an all naturally tanned fish skin that is soft and supple.

Written and Illustrated by Kunaq I wrote this book for the Iñupiaq Immersion Classroom in Nome, Alaska. It is spoken in the King Island Dialect.
She makes it look and sound so delicious! I wish I could try that. However, I’m not a fan of fishy smelling things. I could never eat sushi. But I would like to try that.
How to soften it
How does it taste like?
I was literally looking for an Inuk mukbang but all the others were too short PLEASE MAKE MORE

Hi how did you make the dry scraper
When will you be posting how to make and finish the tops? Thank you for helping us.
i want to try it so bad T.T
i wanna know what this tastes like sooooo bad :(
I want to know if I can find a place where I could try this in Texas ☹️ love it and respect y’all’s culture
No, inuit people are the only people legally allowed and taught to kill the narwhal sustainably. If you do find any, it must be given to you by an individual of inuit origin.
I can't imagine flavor to that dip, but deffinetly I would love to try it. Magnifficent videos in your channel, thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! I am making my first mukluks for my mother and it helps a lot!!
Awesome video. Did you finish the atuŋak?
hi there..could I use any other hide like elk for example??
Can you add salmon fish with your pickled recipe
uhhhh huuh uhhhh huh
Please make more of these videos!! 😍 I’ve been watching this same one over and over, its so relaxing!!
Your daughter’s voice is so sweet!
Alder bark tanning liquor should be room temperature when you add the skins. If hot, they’ll just cook!
Great video. We are just north of Talkeetna. I use to work leather years ago and have seen a few things made of fish skins. I have saved a number of red skins and a few silvers. I would love to know the solution ratio. Of all the videos I have watched I love the coloration of yours the best. Thank you for the education on this. I am sure you make your teachers proud.
The best video on the process of tanning fish skin I’ve seen so far. Great job!!!!
Please make more we need more muktuk mukbang!!
Very cool and informative! Thank you sharing your methods.
First time I saw this was about a year and a half ago and this brought back a lot of memories from that year
Your way is better. 🙂
I so love this
Whats the tool you were using and how did you sharpen it?
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been looking for! I live in south central Alaska and I do leatherwork on the side. I've always wanted to learn how to tan salmon skin. I'm impressed with how much skin you are able to get, and all in one piece off the fish! My fileting skills are quite poor, I'll admit. Could we see how you filet the fish? Also, do you prepare the alder bark in any way before you make the solution?
Hey, so instead of using coconut oil which will like degrade dry and possibly crack your leather over time, I recommend using a commercial leather conditioner (make sure it’s all natural) or what I do is either 1:5, or 50/50 ratio of beeswax to neatsfoot oil.
Love your little helper!
“You must be a real threat at the muktuk eating contest”
Is it always eaten frozen or can it be eaten warm?
Qulliqs are a very cool part of Inuit culture. The flame is other worldly, almost like a living breathing line of electricity. It’s amazing to think just how Important these were to the Inuit and other Arctic peoples. It’s no wonder they’ve taken on a deep spiritual and ceremonial meaning in modern times as their heat and light are not as necessary.
Wow I really want to try this, I'd have to find alternative materials though! Can't wait to see more . 💚🇬🇧
Please forgive my ignorance. What are you scraping? I understand the stretching process and the fleshing. But lost on the scraping.
abhornance!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
How long did it take to become soft?
😂👍🏼
Your little girl is soooo cute! Glad she is helping…it looks like lots of work, ya!?! What have you made with your skins? I’d love to see more posts. I now am hoping to skin sew after watching your videos…inspiring! Quyana from Chignik Lagoon…currently I’m working with fish skins…nice to see what others are doing…maybe I’ll have something to share one day as well.
What kind of oil and cotton?
I'm about to eat some myself. I'm at work too and these co-workers of mine are insulting my ancestors by telling me no when I ask if they want to try... 😂 Jk. But still.
So fascinating! Thank you for sharing a part of your culture with us.
Great video!
Sounds like Whale Beacons 😽
absolutely beautiful
what an amazing craft process
ooh looks good!
cutting through the blubber with the tool is so satisfying!
Interesting process and technique. I like how gravity is used to help get the blubber off the hide
